Dear www-tag,
I've revised the finding "Authoritative Metadata" [1] based
on reviews from Roy Fielding [2] and Stuart Williams [3].
The primary changes from the 27 Jan 2004 draft were:
- Almost wholesale incorporation of Roy's text, with
some edits.
- Almost wholesale incorporation of Stuart's comments.
- Addressing comments from Paul Cotton about means of
obtaining user consent.
Highlights:
* The abstract and summary of key points is clearer. I did
edit RF's text in section one to phrase the links to later
sections as questions raised by the architectural points.
* Third scenario added (section 2.3); some text taken from
section 5.
* More rationale behind the role of metadata and the choice
of making sender metadata authoritative. Per suggestion from
SW, list a couple of other potential sources of metadata.
* Removed firewall example from 3.3
* Replaced pretty printing example in 3.3., last bullet,
with URI checking example
* Beginning of 4.1 now explains better what user consent
means and ways to achieve it.
* Moved some subsections of 4 around for readability.
I created a diff file but it wasn't very useful. Sections
6 and 7 did not change.
You are invited to review and comment on this revision.
Thank you,
- Ian
